Depeche Mode will return to the live stage for a 2023 world tour, its first since co-founder/keyboardist Andy Fletcher’s death earlier this year. The Memento Mori trek, named after a new album arriving in the spring, will begin March 23 in Sacramento, Calif., and then hit Europe starting May 16 in Amsterdam.
“We started work on this project early in the pandemic, and its themes were directly inspired by that time. After Fletch’s passing, we decided to continue as we’re sure this is what he would have wanted, and that has really given the project an extra level of meaning,” group member Martin Gore says. “Fletch would have loved this album. We’re really looking forward to sharing it with you soon, and we can’t wait to present it to you live at the shows next year,” vocalist Dave Gahan adds.
Memento Mori is the follow-up to 2017’s Spirit, a chart-topper in 11 international locales. The upcoming tour will be Depeche Mode’s first in more than five years.
